In April 2025, Provincial Geriatrics Leadership Ontario (PGLO), the Alzheimer Society of Ontario (ASO), and the Behavioural Supports Ontario Provincial Coordinating Office (BSO PCO) convened a province-wide clinical consultation to define the core clinical activities essential to high-quality dementia care in Ontario. This initiative supports the development of the Ontario Ministry of Health’s Provincial Framework for Dementia Care, as outlined in the Improving Dementia Care in Ontario Act, 2024, which received Royal Assent in December 2024.
The consultation brought together 131 clinical experts and partners to identify the clinical services required across the dementia care continuum—from prevention and screening to assessment, diagnosis, care planning, and treatment and management. Download the report below.
